Compliant mechanism collection

Model No. 20

This is a compliant gripper with non-inverting motion. This was obtained using topology optimization. When we press on the handles on the left to bring them together, the jaws come together to apply force on an object present. Its output motion is limited so that there is good mechanical advantage.
